Jacobs, a promising two-way defenseman, was a 4th
round draft pick of the Sarnia Sting, but instead chose to play for the Indiana
Ice of the USHL in order to pursue his college education and playing career at
Michigan State. However, before joining the Spartans in the fall of 2014,
Jacobs has also had the honor of representing the US in the Youth Olympic
Games, the WJAC-19 and in the 2013 All American Prospects Game.

A smooth skater with quickness, Jacobs has cited shooting
the puck more as something he wants to work on going forward. He has however
displayed good puck carrying ability.

However, Jacobs has also expressed a desire to improve his
defensive play. Occasionally seeking advice from former MSU star and current
Boston Bruin, Torrey Krug, Jacobs does have a solid defensive acumen. With his
quickness and long reach, Jacobs is able to effectively make “pro-like” decisions
while displaying a calm demeanor. Jacobs is also a punishing checker, making it
a painful and difficult process to try and get around him.

As of Central Scouting’s Midterm Draft Rankings, Jacobs is
the 41st North American ranked skater.
